Exactly my objective. With the exception of us retro BBS types, it would be
hard to convince a new generation to find a terminal program just to play some
text-based games or participate in low volume message bases. I think putting it
into a browser might bridge that gap.

Will happily share all the parts. It's trivial to host if you're got a
webserver running already. I'm doing it with apache24 on Ubuntu, but it'd work
with nginx just as well. I'll have to figure out how to share files like the
index.html where content must be preserved to use the WWIV Mods sub. :)
